Turkish TV serials and films are becoming big hits in Muslim-majority northern Nigeria as more of them are translated into the local Hausa language, drawing new viewers and generating a huge fan base in the African country. Baba Abdullahi and his family are gathered in their living room in the northern Nigerian city of Kano on a Saturday afternoon to watch the Turkish hit serial “Ertugrul.”. None of them knows the Turkish language. “The film is highly intriguing. It’s awesome and meaningful,” Abdullahi tells TRT Afrika, referring to the series about one of the most famous Turkish warriors of the 13th century and the father of Osman Ghazi, founder of the Ottoman Empire. Although the Turkish population in Nigeria is generally believed to be too small to influence the lifestyles of Nigerians or to spread the Turkish language, many people can now understand Turkish across northern Nigeria.

The Elite Soldiers Of The Ottoman Empire, Janissaries! The Janissaries of the Ottoman Empire emerged as one of the most powerful military forces in the world. They were highly-trained fighters. They played a significant role in the conquest of Constantinople. Nothing seemed capable of stopping the Janissaries’ career of conquest. An Italian traveler named Paolo Giovio once described these ferocious warriors: “Their discipline under arms is due to their justice and severity, which surpasses that of the ancient Romans. They surpass our soldiers for three reasons; 1) They obey their commanders without question. 2) They seem to care nothing at all for their lives in battle. 3) They go for a long time without bread and water." Janissaries were very devout Muslims. Their primary purpose in life was Jihad only and fighting against the enemies of Islam.

Unfortunately, the general aversion of the Muslim masses towards history has resulted in the sheer ignorance about real stance of Sayyidina #Hussain Ibn Ali and the reasons which compelled him to utterly refuse giving Bayah (allegiance) to Yazid 1 the accursed. The commonplace view is that this was a mere power struggle as Hussain wanted to attain the temporal power (i.e Khilafah). However, this is far away from the truth. In reality, Hussain Ibn Ali rejected Yazid primarily since latter had totally abrogated the Pristine Sharia by terming Quran as the myths of the ancients. It is well recorded in Classical Sunni literature that Yazid mocked Sharia and made the unlawful lawful. A few examples include Yazid allowing consumption of alcohol in which he regularly engaged in and also crossing all limits by declaring sexual relations with sisters to be permissible. Indeed, he was aiming at nothing short but to revive Arab Age of Ignorance or paganism which he loved as Faith of his ancestors. Classical Sunni historian Ibn Khatheer (d 1373) states the following on the wretched Yazid : "Traditions inform us that Yazeed loved worldly vices, would drink, listen music, kept the company of boys with no facial hair [civil expression for paedophilia with boys], played drums, kept dogs [civil expression for bestiality], making frogs, bears and monkeys fight. Every morning he used be intoxicated and use to bind monkey with the saddle of a horse and make the horse run". Reference:Al Bidayah Wal Nihayah, Vol 8 Page 1169 Imam Ibn Hajjar Asqalani a prominent Sunni scholar of the 16th century writes about Yazid: Loving and glorifying him Yazid is not done “except by a heretic ” who has void belief because Yazid had such characteristics that his lover deserves to be faithless, because to love and hate just for the sake of God is a sign of faith. [Book name: al-Imta bil al-Arba'in al-Matbainatus Samah (الإمتاع بالأربعين المتباينة السماع), Author: Imam Ibn Hajr al Asqalani (rah), Publication date: 1997, Page No. 96] Under these problematic circumstances, it was surely the responsibility of Hussain ibn Ali to work for the reformation of both the Faith and state. It is well known that certain senior Companions had a different view on the situation. However, it needs to be understood that their Ijtihad was based upon their own research and reports. Yazid was a very cunning individual who had used deceptive tactics. To some delegations he appeared as a steadfast Muslim only to cause division and secure loyalty. However, the view of others is rejected. Hussain had the deepest insight and was able to make sense of the reality using his high abilities. He understood that a evil and wretched person like Yazid wasn't fit for ruling the great Muhammadan nation. Reason why he didn't make Mecca or Medina the base of his mission was that he abhorred bloodshed in Holy Sanctuaries. Even though Abdullah ibn Abbas (paternal cousin) and Abdullah ibn Zubayr had persisted Hussain ibn Ali to remain in Mecca and use popular support. However, Hussain decided to head out to Kufa since he had received hundreds of letters from them to help them against tyrants. As it occurred, the majority Kufans turned out to be sell outs except a handful of individuals. The very people who had written incessantly to Hussain were now opposing him with spears and swords. Indeed, Hussain showed these letters to these people who refused to acknowledge the truth. One of Hussain's companions suggested that they attack Hurr and move to the fortified village of al-Aqr. But Hussain refused, stating that he will not start the hostilities. Hurr had originally intercepted the Prophetic Family (Ahl Al Bayt) but had respect for them. Later when Hussain ibn Ali delivered a sermon about his stance, lineage, and unrivalled merits, Hurr was moved and joined the camp of Hussain. The wretched dog Ibn Ziyad the governor of Kufa then sent Ibn Saad and Shimr to ensure that the Prophetic Family was made to experience torture by stopping their water supply. Ibn Ziyad was working at orders from Yazid who desperately wanted allegiance from Hussain in order to legitimise his rule. By denying water to the camp of Hussain ibn Ali, they had thought that he would be forced to submit. However, even days of hunger & no hydration didn't budge Hussain. The battle was purposely prolonged by Ibn Saad, from sunrise to sunset, as he wanted to somehow make Hussain give in to their demands of paying Yazid allegiance. Imagine if Hussain had done so, it would simply right every wrong of Yazid and would set an example of legitimising heretical rulers for ages to come but of course Hussain Ibn Ali would never betray his Noble Grandfather. Instead, his Lion like spirit refused to bow despite facing all kinds of brutalities. We know thar Prophet Jacob had only lost his son Yusuf and this resulted in Jacob losing his eyesight due to endless weeping. But here we see Hussain sacrificing two of his sons, six of his paternal brothers, three sons of Hasan ibn Ali, three sons of Jafar ibn Abi Talib and three sons and three grandsons of Aqil ibn Abi Talib. Yet, his resolve was unshaken and after losing his dearest ones he led Jihad e Qitaal alone. It is related that in single duels, Hussain the lion of the lion of Allah had fiercely killed many of the renowned warriors and thus managed to instill fear in the hearts of the enemies. Finally, the accursed enemies decided to change the strategy and launched an all out attack against Our Master Sayyidina Hussain Ibn Ali. Sayyidna Hussain was severely injured under the barrage of arrows and still kept fighting and sending few enemies to hell. But after fatal wounds he slowed down and was made to dismount from his horse. Sayyidina Hussain Ibn Ali then did Sajdah e Shukar (Prostration of thanks) since he upheld the values of Islam, the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and the Blessed way of the Rightly Guided Caliphs of Islam despite sacrificing his family. It is said that a man named Sinan the accursed made the final blow by severing the head of Sayyidina Hussain Ibn Ali from his blessed body. May Allah forgive us all for the sake of Ahle Bayt Kareemain and their devoted sacrifices for Islam. And the Immaculate Companions of the Prophet Peace be upon him. Surely, the struggle of Hussain ibn Ali RadiAllah Anhu cannot he separated from the struggle of Sayyidina RasulAllah Muhammad ﷺ who said: Tirmidhi (3775), Ibn Maajah (144) and Ahmad (17111) from Ya‘la ibn Murrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Husayn is part of me and I am part of him. May Allaah love those who love Husayn. Husayn is one of my grandsons.” Main source: Al Bidayah Wal Nihayah by Imam ibn Khatheer Rahimullah, a Classical Orthodox Sunni Imam, exegete, & historian. #Allah #Muhammad #Hussain #Karbala #Sunni #Ashura #Muharram #IslamicHistory
